We have compiled a list of the most common questions we receive regarding Senior PIctures. If you can not find an answer to your question below, please do not hesitate to call us at 814-279-8717 or fill out our contact form.
What can I expect?
Here at Tim Nealon Photography, we try to keep everything as simple as we can. The first step would be to book a session with our photographers. To do this, simply call us at 814-279-8717 or fill out our contact form. Once we confirm your date and time we will mail you a contract which must be signed by the parent/guardian of the Senior getting their pictures taken. If the senior is already of the age of 18, they would sign it themselves. We also require a $75 down payment to reserve your session. THis can simply be a check made out to Tim Nealon Photography. This will be applied to your photos. The remainder of your balance is due the day of your photo session. After we receive your contract and your down payment, we will call set up a time for a quick and easy telephone consultation.
What is the Telephone Consultation for?
The Telephone Consultation is our way to find out exactly what it is you are looking for. We will cover as many of the details regarding the picture shoot as we can. This could include:
- Locations
- Clothing/Outfits
- Make-Up
- Things to Bring
During this phone call we will also answer any questions you may have regarding the senior portrait session.
I need help deciding on an outfit!
We recommend that you bring 3-4 outfits to your senior portrait session. Feel free to bring clothes that really show off your style. As a ganrel rule, solid colors and long sleeves tend to look better and put emphasis on your face, but there will always be exceptions. Whatever it is that you choose to wear, make sure you feel comfortable. Nothing is worse than someone who feels uncomfortable on a photo shoot. It shows in the pictures. In addition, please feel free to bring any props, pets, instruments or sporting equipment you would like to use in your photo shoot.
Should I bring a parent or friend with me?
We strongly encourage you to bring at least one parent with you to your picture sesssion. We enjoy putting parents to work holding reflectors and various other jobs! Just Kidding...sort of..
As far as friends, please bring them. We offer special deals when we photograph two Senior Portrait Sessions together. We can even do a few with both of you in the picture. Ask us for details about our Friend Shoots.
Do you photograph groups such as Sports Teams?
Absolutely. If you and your high school sports team would like to arrange a session for the entire team, just let us know. We offer great discounts for sports teams. We can take the pictures anywhere you like. In the gym, on the field, or anywhere else you can think of.
What happens if it rains or the weather isn't good?
We reschedule. We will pick a later date to take your portraits. This is one of the reasons it is important to book your session early. If you wait until the last minute, it may rain on the only day you have to take the pictures. We have an indoor studio where we can do a wide variety of pictures indoors. This is always an option.
Do you offer Studio Sessions?
We are primarily a location based photography company. We do however have a studio in Somerset Pennsylvania. If you would like to add some studio pictures to your package, please ask us for details.
